To celebrate World Facilities Management Day, we caught up with Momentum Maintain’s Facilities Management Director, Matthew Pilling, to get an insight into how he got into the industry and his advice for those seeking out a career in FM: How did you get into Facilities Management? I joined the industry straight out of university, on a graduate scheme at Carillion. After doing a module at university on Facilities Management I decided it was the career for me. In my experience, it is quite rare for someone to go into the industry straight away, with most coming from a security background. What is your favourite part of working within FM? Definitely the variety. I can go from working on a £100k refurbishment project in Sheffield, straight to solving fire alarm issues on Church Street in Liverpool, and then to meeting a new client, so it is never the same every day. Ultimately, we are here to serve the clients’ needs so the work changes daily and constant variety, which is what I like! Can you share some advice for those looking to start a career in the sector? When I was in my graduate role at Carillion, someone said to me “you’ve got all the intelligence to be able to do the job, but no experience. You can learn everything you can through a textbook, but you need experience to learn and have the confidence to put that into place.” – and this really stuck with me. Embrace the industry, understand systems from the ground up, go out and live it, and get that invaluable first-hand experience. It is important not to forget that we are a service industry. The cleaner is vitally important, and on par with the director leading the business, so everyone should be treated equally and with the same respect. Finally, don’t be scared to break the mould or do things differently. It’s okay to try new things and learn from them. #FacilitiesManagement #MomentumMaintain #FM #FMDay The Momentum Group
